There are a plethora of romantic tropes to explore (and I might even get to a few more before the end of the month), but this one: enemies to lovers will be the next six sensational set of books.

1. Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth: Mix gaming and Renaissance Fares in retelling Shakespeare in a high school and there’s no disappointment.
2. Guava and Grudges by Alexis Castellanos: A generations-old grudge between families boils over in their Cuban bakeries with a new nephew in town and the daughter of the other.
3. Stars and Smoke by Marie Lu: Excited for the sequel, readers are introduced to a pop star and covert operative who have to team up to take someone else down.
4. I Hope This Doesn’t Find You by Ann Liang: Saying what’s on her mind hasn’t worked out well for Sadie now that her email drafts have been sent to the never-intended recipients including her academic rival.
5. Dungeons and Drama by Kristy Boyce: An empowering story about a girl getting over an ex even though the new love interest started off as a contentious fake dating situationship.
6. You Bet Your Heart by Danielle Parker: I love a good competition.
